Did you ever use WinXP and run chkdsk from the command line? It warns you that it can't *correct* errors (a reboot is needed if errors are found), but it can at least *detect* errors on a mounted and active partition (even the boot partition, in case you wondered). Why should Linux not be able to copy this behavior? > I'm not aware wether current fsck supports it, but nothing technical > stops you to _check_ a drive while being mounted r/w.
